Rodwrap Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Is a card required in Ontario for US citizens ? We have PA safe boaters cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Not if you are driving your own PA registered boat.. or have a rental agreement in hand ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Clemens Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 If I recall from reading the regs, those of us from the states don't need the card when we bring our own boat into Canada - unless we're gonna be on the water 45 or more days in a row. Rental agreement works as well. As you have one from PA, I believe Ontario would recognize that anyway. Should get off my tail and get it as well.

Woodsman Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 "If you are a non-resident visiting Canada with your boat, you are not required to carry proof of competency on board as long as your boat is in Canada for less than 45 consecutive days. If you do require proof of competency (because the above doesn't apply to you or you want to operate a boat licensed or registered in Canada) then you may use a operator card or similar proof of competency issued by your home state or country. Either way, you must keep proof of residence on board with you at all times." Taken from: Transport Canada - TP 511E (01/2009) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being on the water 45 or more days in a row plays no part. It is if your boat is in Canada for 45 or more consecutive days whether it is used or not.
